Rovers Slip To 2-1 Defeat

After all the attention surrounding Blackburn Rovers over the past couple of days we were brought crashing back down to earth this Evening with a heavy bump.

The excitement and enthusiasum following the Intertoto Cup victory over VK Vetra, along with the mass publicity the official unveiling of Roque Santa Cruz gained the club, as the Paraguayan International looked on we were dealt a reality check as we succumbed to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to League One side Huddersfield Town this Evening.

In what was largely an experimental side (as you would expect for Pre-Season) a double from Luke Beckett (including one VERY controversial goal, which could have easily been ruled out for a foul on Morten Gamst Pedersen, who was fouled as he attempted to shield the ball out of play) could only be responded to with a late Jason Roberts goal as Rovers suffered their second successive Pre-Season defeat, with two victories over Vetra in the Intertoto Cup sandwiched in-between.

In the grander scale of things this is only Pre-Season, and to a certain degree results do not matter that much, but you NEVER want to lose so Mark Hughes will be disappointed at suffering a defeat to side two Divisions below Rovers.

Meanwhile Rovers (reserve) goalscoring machine Joe Garner could be in line for a loan move to the Scottish top flight side this season?

The 19-year-old (fresh from a hat-trick in the Lancashire Senior Cup Final win) continues to bang in the goals in the reserves but the real test of first team football is needed and it is being suggested that a loan move to Dundee United might happen???
